The arranger is Pete's new girlfriend (I forget the name) and I must say
(at risk of looking like I'm sucking up to Pete) that I think it's a
great job of orchestrating Pete's music.  She manages to capture the
piece's mood instead of just using a straight transcription which
usually sounds just horrible (see: the LSO Tommy).  Also love the
faux-Beethovenish ending.
